 History of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
France's humiliation was abruptly reversed in 1429 by the appearance of a restorationist movement symbolised by the Lorraine peasant maid Joan of Arc, who claimed the guidance of divine voices for the campaign which rapidly ended the English siege of Orléans and ended in Charles VII 's coronation in the historic city of Reims.
During the reign of Louis XIV( 1643 - 1715), France was the dominant power in Europe, aided by the diplomacy of Richelieu's successor ( 1642 - 1661) Cardinal Mazarin and the economic policies ( 1661 - 1683) of Colbert.
After the death of both king and cardinal, the Peace of Westphalia ( 1648) secured universal acceptance of Germany's political and religious fragmentation, and the Treaty of the Pyrenees ( 1659) formalised France's seizure (1642) of the Spanish territory of Roussillon after the crushing of the efemerous Catalan Republic.

 ancien régime: Definition and Much More From Answers.com
The political and social order that prevailed in France before the French Revolution, built on a belief in absolute monarchy and the divine right of kings.
Ancien Régime means Old Rule or Old Order in French; in English, the term refers primarily to the social and political system established in France under the Valois and Bourbon dynasties.
More generally it means any regime which shares the former's defining features: a feudal system under the control of a powerful absolute monarchy supported by the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings and the explicit consent of the established Church, essentially how Europe had been organized since at least the 8th century.

The later Middle Ages would see the regrowth of centralized power as countries came to be aware of their own national identities and strong rulers sought to expand the territory they organized under a central government.
